Showcase your work with a professional-quality image of your favorite piece! At the Mid-Atlantic Ceramics Conference, attendees will have the opportunity to bring one personal pottery piece and receive a complimentary professional photograph of their work.

Whether you want to update your portfolio, enhance your website, share your work on social media, or simply capture a special piece you’re proud of, this service provides a beautiful way to document your craftsmanship. Professional images can make a powerful difference when presenting your work to collectors, galleries, and customers.

Bring a piece that represents your creative voice and let us help you capture it in a way that celebrates the skill, detail, and artistry behind your work. This exclusive opportunity is free for conference participants.

Delcious local food trucks will be available for lunch at the conference on Friday and Saturday.

On Saturday, teams from local studios can compete in ridiculous wheel-throwing contests. Prizes provided by Amaco and Clayworks.

Give your favorite tools a second life and discover new studio treasures at the Mid-Atlantic Ceramics Conference Tool Swap! Bring your new or gently-used ceramic tools to sell or trade with fellow attendees.

Whether you're looking to downsize your collection, find that perfect trimming tool, or pick up a unique piece of studio equipment at a great price, the Tool Swap is a fun and sustainable way to connect with other makers. It's also a great opportunity to share resources, exchange stories, and help fellow potters find the tools they need to create.

Come ready to browse, barter, buy, and swap—you never know what hidden gems you'll discover!

Connect with attendees and presenting artists on Friday night over cocktails!
